A new Super League season has just kicked off, the national league is well underway yet Goulding is the man without a club.

He finished last season as a beaten Grand Finalist with Leigh who missed the opportunity to go in Super League.

New men came in at Hilton Park and took charge - forcing the former Great Britain scrum-half to move on.

It looked at one stage as if Warrington could come in. Hometown team Widnes have also been linked with the man who was Salford captain this time last year.

Goulding still believes he could offer plenty to the game yet a future role is likely to be in a coaching capacity.

He said: "A player-coach role in the national league could well appeal. All I can do is wait and see what happens."

At his peak Goulding was regarded as one of the world's best half-backs. He was part of the all-conquering Wigan team of the 1980s and regards it an honour to have been part of one of the Warrior's greatest ever decades.

Goulding acknowledges the game has changed but feels modern superstars Paul Sculthorpe and Adrian Morley would not have been out of place in that great Wigan side.

Goulding adds: "Sculthorpe is a wonderful player, so vital to Saints. So too is Morley. He has certainly benefited from playing in Australia and is extremely powerful.
